Abstract
This paper discusses the origins of the rhythm and blues genre in the United States and how it has shaped the soul music of today. Discussed are pioneering artists in the rhythm and blues genre of the 1960s through 2022. The genre of r&b has always been a combination of other genres. As decades pass, new styles are created and combined with others to create a “new” style of soul music. KEYWORDS: soul music; rhythm & blues; music; gospel; neo-soul
